You can use to storing login state in the session entirely, and store it in a cookie instead. That way, you could set the expiry to whatever you wanted, and they could stay logged in for a day, or a week, or forever, if you wanted.
for details have a go there[^] to read discussion.

Try using cookies. E.g.,

Response.Cookies["username"].Value=textBoxUsername.Text;
Response.Cookies["username"].Expires=DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);

This is one way. You can also use

HttpCookie cookie=new HttpCookie();
cookie.Value=textBoxUsername.Text;
cookie.Expires=DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

Those are simple ways of using cookies. In my examples, the cookie expires 30 days from creation.
